Childcare Assistant (Current Employee) - Sheidow Park SA - 12 February 2020
Goodstart you work as a team. A typical day you look after children and engage with them. Most days you will go under roof ratios. The enjoyable part is seeing children smile.
Pros
Working with other staff
Cons
Under roof ratios

Just a bad place to work.
Casual Childcare educator (Former Employee) - NSW - 17 January 2020
Don’t work here. You will constantly get bullied from your so called work “friends” management is horrible. even the boss talks badly about staff. Very clicky groups. Constant anxiety. Very manipulative people to work with. Very bad energy, Every centre is different. But just be careful. The whole centre is just going down the drain to be honest. I have friends out of the workplace that have bought their kids to care and have said how rude and lazy staff are and that they wish they never bought them.

Unpleasant experience
Childcare Assistant (Current Employee) - Perth WA - 7 October 2019
I’ve been bullied for years at this workplace and management don’t take anything seriously. The culture is bad and the way the children are treated is unpleasant too. No one cares. You’re just expected to shut up and do your job.

Unfairly discriminated for no reason
Childcare Assistant (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 16 June 2019
I was unfairly targeted and discriminated against while on placement. I was told about everything that was said and everything was a lie about me and was unfairly treated by my teachers because of it. Ended up leaving because I was unfairly treated

Creating a fun and safe place
Childcare Assistant (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 20 January 2019
Make sure the room is set up for the children to have a creative and happy day.
Make sure everything is clean.
Discuss with other workers how we can make the day a pleasant and educational experience for the the children and know our roles for the day.
The children are the most important little humans that we can help them through their day and week. I absolutely love being part of that and watching them grow and understand life.
Pros
Watching the children grow
Cons
When the children leave to go to big school

Productive, fun, professional work environment with room for further development
Childcare Assistant (Former Employee) - Kempsey NSW - 3 April 2018
Every half hour since work starts all employees have a task that they have to fill before arrival of children. This allows time management practice and working together as a team. There is always on going training where needed for every individual employee. Where I was which is Good Start Kempsey management need a lot more training them selfs with time management and staff communication. Family orientated. When employing new staff the management feel that they should be perfectly knowing of job role without question no help form other staff on experience training. The incentives that are provided is the most enjoyable part.
